Chicken oozing yellowish liquid from mouth

[Kathy Smith]

I have a three year old hen that is normally very active and plays with our dog. Today I found her in a hen box up in the corner. When I picked her up a liquid came out her mouth. Later I went in to check on her and she had not move. I picked her up took her out side and started to massage her chest and a yellowish brownish fluid came out and its was a lot. Continued to do so and about 5-10 minutes later a small amount of something came out her mouth. She perked back up but I'm not sure if she will survive the night.

if you can, empty her crop.

Oh no! I’m so sorry. Yes, sounds like her crop, but my understanding is you haveto be extremely careful with emptying it so you don’t aspirate her.

What is her crop?

ok now I know what the crop is and I believe this is what I did yesterday that gave her some relief. Heading out to check on her now..... I hope she is well!

It's to cold here in Montana for mosquito I don't think it's wet pox. I thank you for your advise.
